About:
A family-owned and operated farm since 1865, The Civil War had just come to an end, Oregon had transitioned from territory to the 33rd state, and Aaron Stephens finished his journey across the Oregon Trail to lay claim to a plot of land in the Willamette Valley. Today, we are seventh-generation Oregon farmers.
Shad-O-Hill Farms is nestled at the foot of Eola Hills in the heart of the Willamette Valley. The farm consists of cherries, Italian plums, grapes, hazelnuts, and livestock. Les Stephens, a member of the fifth generation, directs the farm operations along with his son-in-law Kris who is married to Les’ daughter, Gretchen. Along with Les’ wife, Leslie the family is constantly at work to improve their techniques and stay ahead of the latest farming practices. The mission is to raise productivity all the while maintaining the integrity of the land and environment.
Les takes great pride in the stewardship of the land and extending the heritage and history of the farm to the next generations. There is no question that the Stephens family is in the farming business for the long haul. Their over 150-year legacy will march on for years to come.
